Atlanta, November 2.—The members
<of the legislature and candidates continue
to arrive on every train, and everything is
in readiness for the opening of the session
to morrow. The senate will be called to
•order by Hon. W. A. Harris, of Worth,
clerk of the last session; and the house bv
Hon. Mark A. Hardin, of Fulton, clerk of
the last house. The Urst day will be con
sumed in the election of officers for tho
two houses, and it is not probable
that any other business will
be undertaken unless they should decide
to receive the governor’s message. This
■will probably not be introduced, however,
before Thursday. The elections will come
on next Monday and in the meantime the
•candidates for judges and solicitors must
remain on the anxious bench, and con
tinue their work among the members.
The presence of prohibition causes the
Kimball House bar to present a very dif
ferent appearance from that of former
■days when the legislators assembled.

Atlanta. November 2.—From an invest
igation, which has been ordered by the
■city council, it seems that the Atlanta Gas
Light Company has been getting in its
work for a number of years past at the ex
pense of the city. They huve, instead of
■extending their own mams where needed,
procured the introduction of petitions into
■council asking for a street lamp at the in
tersection of certain streets where it
was desirable to the company
to have their mains laid. The petition be
ing allowed the main was laid at the city’s
■expense in order to supply the street
lamps, and the company at the same time
made its connections for private houses.
It is claimed that $30,000 has been expend
ed by the city in this way and the compa
ny has reaped the benefit, A committee
from council has been appointed to inves
tigate the matter.

Atlanta, November 2.—Commissioner
Mercer Slaughter, of the Southern Passen-
f er Association, to-day issued an order pro-
ibiting the payment of commissions to
persons selling tickets over any. of the
roads in the southern association. This
■does away with scalpers and ticket agen
cies and restricts the sale to the regularly

car containing thirty-seven Apaches passed
through Atlanta this afternoon from St.
Augustine, Fla., en route to Carlisle bar
racks, Pa., iu charge of Lieutenant Sebree

lery. There were twenty-nine boys and
■eight girls in the party, ranging from 12 to
21 years old. They go to attend the Indian
school. They were dressed in costumes of

of them very primitive.
They Are After the Central.
Atlanta, November 2.—The railroad
commission to-day heard a complaint from
Harold, Johnson & Co., et at., and the
Americus, Preston and Lumpkin Railroad
■Company vs. the Central Railroad and
Banking Company about the blockade of
cotton at Americus and other local stations.
The complainants charged that the
•Central railroad unjustly discrimi
nated because they used all of
tlipir 1 cars to haul cotton from
competitive points to the detriment of
local points. H. C. Cunningham, repre
senting the Central railroad, asked for fur
ther time in order that he might prepare
evidence iu answer to the points made in
the complaint. The case was postponed
until Friday next. Camplaints have . also
been received from points on the West
Point railroad, but is more than likely the
pressure on this line has been relieved.

president of the state senate, has begun
suit against the Fredonia Publishing Com

professional conduct.
PURSUED BY RUM ADVOCATES.
A Connecticut I’riilitliUtoiilst Twice Assaulted for
Hi* Opinions.
AnsoniA, Conn., October 30.—Joseph L.
Hakes, who now lies at his home in West
Ansonia suffering from a fractured skull
and other injuries, the result of a totally
unprovoked attack upon him nt his own
door, has learned the lesson that it is not
always safe to express one’s opinions in
this traditionally law-abiding state of Con
necticut. Hakes is a prohibitionist, lie
doesn’t believe in the liquor traffic, and he
has done his best to tight it in Ansonia.
His crusade against rum hasn’t been con
fined to words, and more than once he has
attempted to prevent the granting of
licenses to saloon keepers of the town. His
course made him enemies, and threats
were freely made that he would rue his
active work for prohibition. He paid
little heed to them and continued to ex
press his ideas freely and put them into
action whenever he got the chance.
Hakes spent an evening in Ansonia
Centre last December, and did not start for
his home across the Naugatuck river until
late. It was a cold, dark night, and he
hurried along at a fast walk. He had
traveled the road hundreds of times and
was utterly unconscious of danger. As he
passed a dark corner a man sprang out be
hind him and struck him upon the head
with a club, felling him to the ground and
afterward giving him a terrible beating.
Passers-by found Hakes lying in the road
and took him tb his home. In the dark
ness and the surprise of the attack he had
been unable to identify his assailant, but as
he had no enemies except the saloonists,
his friends laid the assault at their door.
Hakes’ injuries were serious, but that
didn’t end his foes’ campaign. He received
letters‘threatening all kinds of ills upon
him and bidding him beware of the pun
ishment of which his nocturnal experience
had been but a mild sample. The pro
hibitionist’s convalescence was slow, and
he never fully recovered from the effects
of the assault. One night, some months
after the first attack, a man cattle to Hakes’
house and demanded admission. Hakes
was away, but his wife kept the door
closed, and the visitor, after beating in one
of the panels with his club, went
away, apparently satisfied that he could
not get at the inmates. The third attempt,
two nights ago, resulted in a fractured
skull for the out-spoken prohibitionist,
and the arrest of Thomas Feeney, a saloon
keeper.
Hakes is employed at the Farrel foundry.
He is a thoroughly respectable citizen, and
his only crime seems to have been daring
to express his convictions. It is just such
eases as this that have given the Connecti
cut piohibitionists such an increase in
numbers and earnestness.

Augusta, November 2.—Walter Myers,
a fifteen year old lad, killed Henry Thomp
son, colored, at the toll gate to-night at
B:30 o’clock. A crowd of small boys were
playing in the public road, and one of the
members threw a clod of dirt, striking the
negro. The negro retaliated with a brick
back, which struck little Myers in the face.

assailant, and striking him in the breast
penetrated the lungs, producing almost in
stant death. The negro was of age and
large in statue. Myers is in jail.

San Francisco, November 2.—A heavy
vote is being polled. The American ticket
is cutting a considerable figure in the vote
in this city. It was supposed at. first that
tho American vote would only draw from
tile republican party, bin it s now known
that it is drawing from both sides. There
are several state tickets in the field, which
cause heavy scratching. The vote in he
city and throughout the state, will be very
close.
San Francisco, November 2.—Returns
from all the counties in the state outside,
of San Francisco county give the republi
cans a majority, and unless the majority
for Bartell (dome lor governor proves to
be much lnrger in San Francisco than is
expected, Swift (rep.) will lie elected. The
American vote, which started out strong,
rapidly fell away, and ill the interior it
fell behind the O’Donnell (ind.) vote.
MINNESOTA.
St. Paul, November 2.—Not for many
years has there been so much excitement
nt all election, and this is augmented by
the attack made on the republica pro
cession at Minneapolis last night, during
which about sixty persons were injured,
ex-Governor Pillsbury among the number.
One or two were severely hurt. The state
central committee claim that the state
' ill give 15,000 republican majority. The
democrats are making no claims officially,
but say if Ames is not elected governor
he will at least cut down Liegill’s majority
to very small figures.
St. Paul, Minn., November 2.—At 8:30
& m. the returns from 22 townships give
oGill, republican, for governor 1489, and
Ames, democrat, for governor 1441. In
the presidential election the same town
ships gave Blaine 1832 and Cleveland 1231.
The same ratio of loss carried through the
800 townships of the state would reduce
McGill’s majority to 3000: bu the town
ships reported are small railway points,
where Ames’ influence would naturally be
strongest. There are no returns from any
Minnesota cities yet.
NEBRASKA.
Omaha, Nebraska, November 2.—Not
over 9000 votes were polled here. The re
publican state ticket has been elected by
over 25,000 majority. James Laird, the
present member of congress from the
second district, and Gen. F. Dorsey, con
gressman from the third district, both re
publicans, have been re-elected. In
this district, the first, result cm a
congressman is still in doubt.
Jno. A. MeShane, democrat, receives ac
cording to the best estimates at this hour a
majority of between 3000 and 3500 in this
(Douglas) county. In Lancaster county,
however, Church Howe, republican nomi
nee, made a strong run. No definite re
ports have been yet received from the
other counties of this district.
WISCONSIN.
Milwaukee, November 2.-The labor
party is cutting a big figure, and in some
of the democratic strongholds the vote
of the democrats has been divided by the
new party. Defection from the old parties
to the labor party is strongest in polish
seotmns, which means a democratic loss.
Milwaukee, Wis., November2.—Thirty
nine towns and cities show a net republi
can gain of 391. Indications are that Small,
laboi candidate for congress, is elected in
the fourth district.
Milwaukee, November 2.—At midnight
it is conceded that the entire state republi
can ticket has been elected by a handsome
majority, with Governor Rusk leading.
The plurality will probably exceed 20,000.
The legislature is republican, with a re
duced majority on a joint ballot. The
labor party has elected from ten to twelve
members of the legislature, and their lead
ers claim they have enough to hold the
balance of power and thus control the
selection of United States senator.

One story he relates is worth repeating.
He was summering at a foreign watering
place, and was constantly beseiged by the
Countess Somebody to perform some of
his tricks. He pleaded that he was on his
vacation, and that he desired to rest.
Finally she corner ‘d him in a pavilon
overlooking the sea, and in the presence
of a large company entreated him to
show them what he could do. “You have
a beautiful necklace,” he said at last;
“please let ine have it.” The countess
complied, and Hermann immediately
threw the costly chain of gems into the
ocogia. ‘.‘Iloiv dare you ilo. that 1” de
manded the count, angrily.
Without replying Hermann reached
forth and bnugiit forth a large bouquet
from the gentleman’s coat. Handing it to
the countess, he bade her open it. “She
did so,” says Hermann, laughingly telling
tho story, “and right in the bouquet she
found her necklace. Now that was real
nice, wasn’t it ?”

that up in northern Michigan we plant

Well, you see we plant them pretty deep,
and then the snow comes and covers them
up as warmly as could be wished. When
the snow melts along in April or the first

and genial, the potatoes sprout and come

In 1864 I contracted blood poison. Since
that time I have suffered tortures from an
affection of the skin, rheumatism and
ulcerating sores. During those long years
of disease I underwent treatment at the
hands of leading physicians in Norwich,
Hartford, Providence, Boston and Chica
go. Failing to get relief at one place, I
would go to another, but met with the
same treatment and effect everywhere.
The quantities of mercury and potash I
have taken have not only done me no
good, but I believe it Ipis done me much
harm. I hitve taken S. S. S. six weeks,
'■ and it is hard to believe my own feelings,
though thg fact that it has done more for
me in that short time than all other medi
cines have in twenty years is plain and
undeniable. Six weeks ago I was a total
wreck, without hope. Now thut I have
taken fourteen bottles of S. S. S. my rheu
matism is among the things of the past,
and the sears only show that 1 was dis
eased. When I began taking Swift’s Spe-
j eifle there was a large eating ulcer over
my right eye which alarmed me greatly,
and no one who saw it thought 1 would
ever get well. Like the other it is gone,
uml I thank God for the creation of the
Swift Specific Co. and their great remedy.

A party of sportsmen from Saginaw,
Mich., went deer hunting on Sugar river.
After four days of tramping through the
forest their supplies gave out. As they
had killed no deer, they had nothing to
eat. They met a lumberman and a..ked
for aid. Their new friend chased a large
buck into the river, killed it with a pike-
j pole and gave the city sportsmen half the
carcas.—Chicago Times.
